Refer to the Job Flow diagram above for the following work flow
process.
1. Job: The job and the job ticket (if applicable) are received
from the network by one of the protocol gateways.
2. Input queue: The Job Pool Manager (JPM) process transfers
the job into the input queue. The virtual printer name and job
attributes are attached to the job. The job remains in the Input
Queue until it can be printed; for example, "held" and "faulted"
jobs reside in the input queue.
